Amy, this is great!!! what cool stuff you're up to :-) I am totally going to make this smoothie - I make smoothies all the time, but the simplicity of this one is a super motivator to make it for my kids today as an after school snack!

I'll chime back in later and rate it.

in health,
Linda

Hi Linda,
Thanks for the feedback and so glad you are a part of the challenge. Sharing with your kids is great -- and, I have been getting some emails from folks about how they are sharing with their kids after school as well.
Would love to hear how they go over with your kids ;-)

Have a great afternoon!
Amy

Hi again,
that smoothie went over great with the kids!! for some reason I've never used water for the liquid part and I was so pleasantly surprised at the outcome!

I give this smoothie a solid 4!

thanks!
Linda

Awesome Linda - glad the kids liked it! Thanks for letting me know :-) Was it the one from today with the pineapple or the very first one with apple, banana, spinach and water?

Have a good night!
Amy

Hi Amy -- I'm starting the 44-day challenge a week later than most people, but I'm ready to go. My first green smoothie made me laugh -- I'm not used to this! I'm giving it a 4 for taste since I don't have anything to compare it to yet, but it was pretty good. Question though -- I guess we green smoothie drinkers will be checking our teeth throughout this challenge? Maybe I'll BLEND a little longer tomorrow! :)

Hi Kathy! Don't worry my friend - you're not "late" - you are right on time! Welcome to green smoothie revolution ;-)
Yea, I always do a quick mirror check after a green smoothie ...
Hope you enjoy today's smoothie!
